Probably, yes.

I dont think the swear filter wouldve allowed what i originally intended to say.

This happened to my mum about 20 year ago when I was young, some lads threw rock/boulder off a bridge and it landed in the passenger seat going through the windscreen. So So luck!
If someone else had been in the car they would have been killed/very badly hurt

There will always be thought less moron’s in the world

I think when found guilty we should drop the scumbag off of a motorway bridge...

[David87]

It is quite concerning. I drive along that stretch of the A12 almost every day and I've been keeping a very close eye on any bridges around the Chelmsford area today. Oh, and when they're (inevitably) caught, they should have a car dropped on them. We'll get the Mythbusters in or something.

Reminds me of when some scrotes tried to drop bricks onto my car near the Monmouth tunnels.

25 years ago or more, some kids threw something large off a bridge as I was passing. I was so incensed that I left the motorway at the next slip and caught up with them. This was pre-mobile phones (yes, I'm THAT old) so I grabbed these kids and told them not to move and tried to flag someone down to call plod. One kid ran off, nobody stopped, so I bundled the other kid in the car and drove to the nearest phone box and called plod myself.

Cue major bking for me for potential kidnap. Which I can see, and which I would never condone these days. But someone had to stop them. And from the hysterical blubbing which ensued from the youth I "kidnapped", hopefully he learnt something.

Do that these days and you'll end up on some sort of register.

It happened to my Dad ages ago, thankfully it was only a small stone a took a chunk out of the bonnet. I doubt the police will catch the culprits of the linked story, but even if they do we all know that the penalty will be very little, if anything at all.

[soad]

Horrible.

[martin84]

The question i want to ask the fking tt is......why?

The answer would probably be a shrugged 'dunno' from within his hoodie.

[Dangerous Dan]

What is the charge if these little darlings are caught? Would it be attempted murder?

That's what it said on the local news tonight, it happened around here (Peterborough) a few years ago, mainly stones & bricks, I had one go through the front window of my caravan, about £500 worth of damage, they have put a safety cage around the bridge where it was happening, guess the py scrotes that were doing it were too lazy to walk to the next one.

An Essex plod spokesman said on the news earlier that he considered it attempted murder.

I was on the A12 this morning. Made me shudder when I heard the news story. It would be bad enough in a big ol' DAF lorry, but I wouldn't like to imagine it happening in the Caterham.

[*Al*]

Perhaps if (when) they get caught, punishment will be a 2 week holiday down by the coast somewhere, that'll teach them!

Good!

I hope these little barstewards darlings get punished till death a lot. Always makes me wonder what goes through their tiny minds when they think this is a good idea. Do they not know how serious the concequences could be? Do they even care?

Speaking of which, I remember there was a lorry driver killed in a similar incident maybe a couple of years ago.

Everyone assumes young men in hoodies. Probably so, but that's the problem these days, nutcases come in all shapes and sizes. Like the middle aged woman who thru the cat in the wheelie bin. She had no idea why she did it???

Doubt they'll ever catch them, so we'll never know.
